Is this plausible? I will be traveling a relatively short distance (under 2 miles) of which is mostly pavement. My crashpad is a metolius fat bastard, and my bike is a cheap ass rigid framed mountain bike.

Other than eating shit and looking retarded, I am slightly concerned about looking retarded to passerbys. Should I have any other overriding concerns?

It seems pretty obvious that the answer is "it depends."

On a windy day you could get blown into a ditch or into traffic. That would suck.

If you have to negotiate narrow passages (i.e. traffic, forest trails, etc.) your width could be dangerous.

If you have to climb something steep, your balance could get a little weird.

Is it possible that it could work? Sure, if you are riding on reasonably empty trails or roads on a pretty calm day. But if it is only two miles why not just walk and avoid the hassle and possible risks?

Well, it is going to be on suburban roads, and at night. The bicycle is far quicker and less noticeable than walking; driving is out of the question. There is likely one brief section while crossing some grass, but no hardcore trail riding or anything.

I say, "go for it." Maybe stick some reflective tape on the top back corners of the pad, and/or hook up your headlamp if you have a blinking function. You will not be able to hear cars approaching from behind too well with the pad there. Otherwise, who cares what you look like?

Here's some help. From someone who's done it no less. And at night! And on a rigid frame single speed mountain bike! And on city streets! And on some very light dirt trail! And with a Fat Bastard! And for about 5 miles!

I'm not dead. I didn't crash. My bike did explode into flames though, so there is that. I probably looked a little retarded but I probably cared even less than I looked.
